A little help for quick parts: Select the complete signature, hit ALT + F3 and give it a short name, for example sig. Whenever you want to insert it in any of your documents just type sig and hit F3.

Kevin, thank you for yet another great video! The way I've been inserting my signature or signature block is, instead of using quick parts, I save the signature image or signature block in auto correct. For example, I copy the signature image or signature block, then go into the auto correct feature. I then give the signature image or signature block a name (i.e., "mysig" which is short for "my signature" ). I then save the auto correct. Now whenever I want to insert my signature image or signature block, I type "mysig" (without the quotation marks) and my signature or signature block is automatically inserted!

Fantastisk! I cannot write on my phone. But I have a new Asus flip14 with touchscreen. I did my signature there direct in OneNote. I did the work on my main computer, via OneDrive, and there followed the description. I made it and I am 76. Many thanks to Kevin.

Thanks man! P.S. I used Windows 10 "Snip" to simply screen capture my edited signature (word's 50% white feature you mentioned) and saved it to an easy spot on my PC. Just copy paste.

Draw is only available on the latest version of Word. He omits to mention this salient fact.
